This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.

Rigging Work



Ron visited on Thursday to fit the intermediate (D2) shrouds. The upper photo shows the new stays at the top. Note the open turnbuckles on the new says vs the closed ones on the old ones. Closed turnbuckles are considered obsolete around here. The open ones allow better inspection and avoid the danger of trapped water. The other photo shows Ron at work sewing the leather cover at the end of the cross tree.

My goodness Ron is brave. Doesn't even look like slipping!
